It's snowing

Jeff Lawrence_25

This is Georgia....

Snow forms when water vapor condenses directly into ice crystals, but this is GEORGIA. We don't get snow. This will turn to ice tomorrow, as our highs will be at least 5 degrees above freezing tomorrow. Ice is dangerous.

It looks nice.

Y'all can keep it. This is Georgia.

ugh.......

I'll take the snow...

All we have had here so far is cold and dry weather.

And headed our way...

Hey, Jeff -

I'm up the street, outside Greenville. We expect a few inches of snow, sleet & freezing rain. It's that last bit that I don't like.

I lived in Vermont for a few years & in western NC. I've lived in snow. Snow I enjoy. Little ball bearings of ice floating in a watery slush I hate. (Edit:) And the sound of small-arms fire (with occasional heavier caliber) as the trees snap....

Every year, about this time (in two more weeks) a bunch of us head to a cabin up in the Georgia mountains (outside Suches) and cook pork, play cards, etc. Why is it that I NEVER get stuck up there? I always bring loads of food & drink. The snow gods conspire against us.

Driving through

I'll be driving through Greenville Friday, headed to Chesnee and the 227th anniversary of the Battle of Cowpens. The Bride and I will be presenting wreaths in honor of our ancestors that fought for our freedom in the Revolutionary War.

As being a Southerner, born and bred, snow is still a novelty for us. Our 19 year old son, 17 year old daughter and 3 year old mutt just came in from a neighborhood snowball fight. As we were wrapping it up, the snow had changed to rain.

The South is still amazing to me. The stores sell out of bread and milk, but hardly anything else. The Yankees that move down here for assorted reasons say disparaging things about the fact us Southerners can't drive in the snow, but proceed to wreck their cars in the ice that forms when our temps rise slightly above freezing, just enough to melt and then re-freeze into ice.

The stuff is in the forecast for Friday night/Saturday morning for us.

bread & milk

I hear you. Never could understand the shopping tendencies. Can't stand French toast, myself.

I welcome my Yankee neighbors (& love my Yankee wife), but I do wish they would cut back a tad on the superiority riff.

Certainly, it takes a (Southern?) historian to appreciate Cowpens & Kings Mountain.

The snow seems to have stopped for now, but I've just heard a bit of thunder. Got to love the weather.

Atlantic City

AND Atlanta are south of you. Besides, I live in Woodstock and Atlanta is on the outskirts of Woodstock.

At least the snow stopped and it's raining now.
